Description
RedNet X2P is a compact, robust 2x2 Dante™ audio interface featuring two Red Evolution mic pres, stereo line out and a stereo headphone amplifier. RedNet X2P quickly adds I/O to your Focusrite Red interface or any Dante™ audio-over-IP system, and power, audio and remote control are supplied using a single Ethernet cable — simply use a power-over-Ethernet switch or PoE injector. A local input mixer allows 'more me' monitoring control, while a control lockout ensures settings remain unchanged when used remotely.
The two digitally-controlled Red Evolution mic pres provide large amounts of ultra-clean gain along with stereo linking, individual phantom power, a high-pass filter and phase reverse. Plus they include Air mode, emulating the sound of Focusrite's classic transformer-based mic preamps. RedNet X2P provides high-performance audio conversion with over 118dB dynamic range. These converters have been expertly selected and calibrated to provide the best balance of sound quality, dynamic range and conversion latency.
Sometimes it helps to have direct foldback within the interface, so RedNet X2P features a crossfader to enable you to control the level of local inputs versus network inputs that feed either the line outputs or the headphone outputs. The unit can be mounted directly to a mic stand, keeping it out of the way and within reach.
Flexible control locks enable you to lock out local control of mic pre settings, output settings or both. Leave RedNet X2P with your artists and allow them to adjust their headphone mix and level, safe in the knowledge that they cannot accidentally adjust the mic pre gain.
Key Features
- Two of our best preamps provide ultra-clean gain, stereo linking, individual phantom power, a high-pass filter, phase reverse and Air mode.
- High-quality conversion, with over 118dB dynamic range.
- Power-over-Ethernet allows a single cable to deliver audio, control and power to RedNet X2P.
- Local input mix allows 'more-me' style monitoring for easy foldback control.
- Mic stand mount keeps the unit out of the way and within reach.
- Local control lockout of mic pre settings, output settings or both.
2x2 analogue I/O with 2x mic pres, headphone and line output, PoE supplied
RedNet X2P is a compact, portable and robust 2x2 Dante™ audio interface featuring two Red Evolution mic pres, stereo line out and a stereo headphone amplifier. RedNet X2P allows you to effortless add a high quality Dante audio interface by integrating power, audio, clock and remote control over a single Ethernet cable – simply use a power over Ethernet switch or PoE injector. A local input mixer allows 'more me' monitoring control, while a control lockout mode ensures settings can not be changed when used remotely.
Rear panel XLR outputs offer level-controlled analogue outputs of up to 24dBu, while a front panel 1/4" connector provides a high-powered headphone output capable of driving both high and low impedance headphones. A pair of combination XLR/1/4" inputs allow the connection of mic, line or instrument level signals to the mic pres, which include Focusrite's acclaimed Air mode which emulates the sound of our classic input transformers. The top panel features an array of controls: output level for headphone and line outputs, mic pre controls of gain, high-pass filter, Air, phase invert, phantom power and stereo linking; as well as the crossfader for controlling the balance of mic pre inputs and network receiver channels which to be sent to the headphone or line outputs.
